"Trouble With Classicists"


	The trouble with a classicist he looks at a tree
	That's all he sees, he paints a tree
	The trouble with a classicist he looks at the sky
	He doesn't ask why, he just paints a sky

	The trouble with an impressionist, he looks at a log
	And he doesn't know who he is, standing, staring, at this log
	And surrealist memories are too amorphous and proud
	While those downtown macho painters are just alcoholic

	The trouble with impressionist is
	The trouble with impressionist is
	The trouble with impressionist is
	The trouble with impressionist is

	The trouble with personalities, they're too wrapped up in style
	It's too personal, they're in love with their own guile
	They're like illegal aliens trying to make a buck
	They're driving gypsy cabs but they're thinking like a truck

	The trouble with personalities is
	The trouble with personalities is
	The trouble with personalities is
	The trouble with personalities is

	I like the druggy downtown kids who spray paint walls and trains
	I like their lack of training, their primitive technique
	I think sometimes it hurts you when you stay too long in school
	I think sometimes it hurts you when you're afraid to be called a fool

	The trouble with classicists is
	The trouble with classicists is
	The trouble with classicists is
	The trouble with classicists is
